Promotional Material

We have a number of printed promotional booklets, leaflets and other items about Go. This page briefly describes and illustrates them. Most of them are available here in electronic form.

Printed copies are normally available free to volunteers doing outreach work on behalf of us, which includes Go club secretaries.

They are also available to other people and for other uses at our discretion. In this case we may request a payment to cover our costs. If in doubt, ask our Secretary or President. Remember that our aim is “to promote interest in and the playing of the game of Go”. We will be likely to look favourably on requests that help achieve that.

Current stocks and stock holders can be seen here (restricted access). To obtain any of the items contact the stock holders directly or via our Secretary. The Book Seller may also bring some stock to the tournaments he attends.

If you need to use our logo in your literature or an article, please use one on this page.

Last revised in May 2015, following a major revision in May 2012, this is an introduction to Go and also to us, including a brief description of the rules, a membership form and a space for local club details. Also known as the Tri-fold Leaflet.

This is the ideal size to leave in racks, for example in libraries, or as a quick answer to “What’s that game?” queries. It's a single A4 sheet, folded in three. It is available in PDF format (2.9Mb).

Last revised in July 2014 this is an English translation of Andreas Fecke’s excellent German original, now using pass stones. It is a 16-page A6 booklet that uses cartoons to explain the rules of Go. Ideal for children. Also available as online pages and in PDF format (3.4MB).
